Privacy policy for the use of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to measure and analyze the use of our online offer on the basis of a pseudonymous user identification number. This identification number does not contain any unique data (e.g. names or e-mail addresses). It is used to assign analysis information to a terminal device in order to recognize which content users have accessed within one or various usage processes, which search terms they have used, have accessed again or have interacted with our online offer. In addition, the time of use and its duration are stored as well as the sources of the users referring to our online offer and technical aspects of their end devices and browsers. In the process, pseudonymous profiles of users are created with information from the use of various devices, whereby cookies may be used.

Google Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses for EU users. Analytics, however, provides rough geographic location data by deriving the following metadata from IP addresses:

  • City(and the derived latitude and longitude of the city)
  • continent
  • country
  • region
  • Subcontinent (and ID-based counterparts)

For EU traffic, IP address data is used exclusively for this derivation of geolocation data before being immediately deleted. They are not logged, are not accessible and are not used for any other purpose.

When Google Analytics collects measurement data, all IP queries are performed on EU-based servers before traffic is forwarded to Analytics servers for processing.

The legal basis for the processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You have the option of objecting to the processing at any time via opt-out. You can find the opt-out plugin at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en as well as setting options for the display of advertisements: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

We have concluded a contract with Google for order data processing. More information can be found at the following link: https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/.

The basis for the third country transfer is the following agreement: EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and standard contractual clauses.

For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please see Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy/ as well as further information on types of processing and the data processed: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/adsservices/.
